Origin
The Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' originates from India, where it is also known as the Banyan tree. This unique plant is often regarded as sacred and is notable for its massive size and wide, sprawling branches. In its natural habitat, this tree can become one of the largest in the world.
Characteristics
The Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' is characterised by its large, leathery leaves which have a rich, green colour. The leaves act as a natural air purifier and improve air quality. Furthermore, the plant develops thick, bulging aerial roots which eventually anchor in the ground and provide support to the branches.
Care
The Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' requires a high level of light exposure, but cannot tolerate direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep the plant evenly moist, without allowing the roots to stand in water. The plant cannot handle draughts and the ideal ambient temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. To ensure a beautiful, balanced growth, it is important to rotate the plant regularly.
